Over the past 6 years Doug has been on a journey of developing his Inner Mission (Intuition). He's watched men misjudge situations, only to hear them say, "I knew I shouldn't have done that". Why didn't they listen to their gut feel, that inner knowing, inner voice, call it what you want? Doug is passionate about men following their inner guidance, and invites them to join him and special guests here each week as they discusses simple ways to do that.
In this powerful and personal episode, the tables are turned as Doug Beitz becomes the interviewee, diving into a topic close to his heart: how men can develop and strengthen their intuition. Doug reflects on a recent conversation where he was asked, “What can men do to improve their intuition?” Three clear and intuitive insights came to him in that moment, which he shares in this episode: 1. Eat fresh, local food – avoid processed food. Doug explains that we are energetic beings made of frequencies, and processed foods carry a low vibrational frequency that can cloud our intuitive abilities. Fresh, local food supports the clarity needed to tune in. 2. Practice meditation. Doug highlights the importance of stillness and offers practical tips for quieting the mind. Meditation is a powerful tool for reconnecting with your inner guidance. 3. Act on the intuitive nudges you receive. Intuition strengthens with use. Doug encourages listeners to trust and act on those inner whispers—because if you don't use it, you lose it. This episode is a must-listen for men ready to deepen their self-awareness and reconnect with their intuitive nature. info@dougbeitz.com dougbeitz.com facebook.com/dougbeitz instagram.com/dougbeitz https://neurovizr.com/?ref=hshrqqxx buymeacoffee.com/dougbeitz

A Remarkable Journey: Bob shares how life's twists—from the mob-connected legal world to teaching meditation—led him to embrace a path of mindfulness and personal transformation. The Power of Meditation: Meditation isn't about forcing an empty mind; it's about building a healthy relationship with your thoughts. By realizing “I am not my thoughts,” we can interrupt unhealthy patterns (like impulsive eating) and break free from limiting beliefs. Intuition & the Unseen Realm: Meditation creates the space between thoughts where intuition can surface. Bob explains how Taoist practices and the ancient I Ching serve as a “manual on intuition” by connecting our inner hunches to practical wisdom. Synchronicities and Life's Flow: Personal anecdotes—from a reflective airplane moment to navigating ocean currents—illustrate how synchronistic events guide us. The conversation emphasizes aligning with the natural flow of life rather than forcing outcomes, leading to more effortless, impactful living. Overcoming Conditioning: Meditation helps uncover and gently let go of the conditioning that shapes our automatic responses. This process cultivates qualities like generosity, loving-kindness, and compassion, all of which contribute to lasting happiness. Practical Takeaways & Resources: Bob offers a free 40-page “Primer on Meditation” on his website—a perfect starting point for beginners. https://www.awiseandhappylife.com/what-is-meditation-anyway/ He also recommends “The Illustrated I Ching” by R.L. Wing as an accessible guide to Taoist intuition practices.

This week the Men's Intuition Roundtable discuss Death. Divine Intervention: Trunnis Goggins Jr shares an anecdote about his uncle, a Vietnam War door gunner who survived being shot down three times without injury, as evidence that "when it's your time to go, it's your time to go" and divine intervention will occur if it's not your time. Near-Death Experience: Mark Patterson recounts his own profound near-death experience, asserting that death is an illusion and involves a shift in focus akin to changing TV channels. He emphasizes that the soul is eternal and individuals choose whether to return to their physical bodies or transition to a higher dimension. No Hell, Only Heaven: Mark challenges traditional religious beliefs by stating that no one goes to hell. He posits that everyone returns to heaven, their place of origin, regardless of their beliefs. Reincarnation and Karma: Mark suggests that these concepts were originally part of early Christianity and have been validated by his personal experiences and study of religious history. Post-Death Consciousness Work: Kevin advocates for guided visualization to overcome fear and uncertainty surrounding death. He describes a personal experience using visualization to work through the process of dying and experiencing the peace and interconnectedness of post-death consciousness. Tethered by Negative Emotions: Both Mark and Kevin Russell discuss the idea of being "tethered" to the physical world after death by unresolved emotions like grief, pain, and guilt. They suggest that these emotions can hinder the transition to higher realms. Reuniting with Loved Ones: Mark assures listeners that they will reunite with loved ones who have passed on in the afterlife, describing it as a reunion with their "soul family." He emphasizes the importance of letting go of grief and pain to facilitate the transition for both the deceased and those left behind. Thinning of the Veil: Kevin highlights the possibility of connecting with deceased loved ones through heightened experiences like near-death experiences or practices like breathwork that stimulate extrasensory perceptions. He encourages open curiosity and a willingness to challenge limiting beliefs to access these abilities. Significance of Halloween and Day of the Dead: The discussion touches on the origins of Halloween and Day of the Dead as celebrations honoring ancestors and acknowledging the thinning of the veil between the physical and spiritual realms. Doug contrasts the commercialization of Halloween in Western cultures with the more traditional celebration of Day of the Dead in Latin American cultures. Importance of Honoring Deceased Loved Ones: Kevin encourages listeners to engage in practices like asking for signs from loved ones and staying present in daily life as ways to connect with and honor those who have passed. Sharing Grief and Supporting Others: Doug and Trunnis share their perspectives on the importance of talking about deceased loved ones and supporting those who are grieving. Trunnis announces his upcoming book, "Stories of Children Lost," which aims to provide solace and guidance to parents who have experienced the loss of a child. info@dougbeitz.com dougbeitz.com facebook.com/dougbeitz instagram.com/dougbeitz

The Power of Empathy and Leadership in Challenging Careers In this episode, Doug Beitz sits down with Jon Molik to discuss the profound impact of empathy and intuition in leadership roles within high-stress professions, such as firefighting, law enforcement, and the military. Jon shares his personal journey, revealing how his experiences shaped his understanding of empathy and its critical role in effective leadership. The conversation kicks off with Jon reflecting on how personal struggles led him to appreciate the power of empathy. He recounts how, during difficult times in his life, the empathy shown by others—whether through direct support or the absence of punitive actions—played a pivotal role in his recovery and personal growth. This realization inspired him to adopt a more empathetic approach in his professional life, particularly in his later years in law enforcement and the military. Doug and Jon then delve into the challenges of fostering empathy in traditionally tough environments like firefighting and law enforcement. Doug recalls his days as a professional firefighter, highlighting the camaraderie among firefighters and the often-limited presence of empathy in what was, at the time, a predominantly male-dominated field. Jon echoes these sentiments, noting that while some progress has been made, many law enforcement and military environments still struggle with deeply ingrained "boys' club" mentalities. The discussion also touches on the significance of empathy in leadership. Jon shares insights from his military career, emphasizing that leaders who exhibit empathy and intuition can more effectively manage chaotic situations, inspire their teams, and maintain morale. He contrasts this with leaders who are closed-minded and stressed, often leading to less effective management and increased tension. Towards the end of the episode, Jon opens up about his battle with alcohol addiction, which intensified after a particularly challenging deployment in Afghanistan. He explains how the lack of consequences for his behavior during this time—thanks to the understanding and empathy of those around him—allowed him the space to recover and ultimately quit drinking. This personal experience further solidified his belief in the transformative power of empathy, both in his personal life and as a leader. Doug and Jon conclude the episode by discussing the importance of emotional intelligence and vulnerability, particularly for men in high-pressure professions. They advocate for the development of empathy and intuition as essential skills for leading a more fulfilling life and creating more supportive, effective work environments. Key Takeaways: Empathy is a powerful tool in leadership, especially in high-stress professions like firefighting, law enforcement, and the military. Personal struggles can lead to a deeper understanding of empathy, which can enhance one's ability to lead and connect with others. The "boys' club" mentality still exists in many traditionally male-dominated fields, but progress is being made towards more inclusive and empathetic work environments. Leaders who are empathetic and intuitive are more effective in managing chaos and inspiring their teams. Emotional intelligence and vulnerability are crucial for personal growth and creating a positive impact in professional settings. Quotable Moments: "The power of empathy from others helped me realize that I needed to give that same empathy to others." – Jon Molik "Empathy is not a sign of weakness; it's a crucial aspect of strong leadership." – Doug Beitz "Leaders with empathy and intuition can slow things down in chaos, making everything run smoother." – Doug Beitz Actionable Advice: Develop your empathy and intuition, regardless of your profession. It can significantly improve your leadership skills and personal relationships. Reflect on your personal experiences and consider how they might have shaped your ability to empathize with others. In male-dominated fields, strive to break down the "boys' club" mentality by fostering inclusivity and understanding among all team members. https://headlinesandhistory.com https://youtube.com/@headlinesandhistory https://www.instagram.com/headlinesandhistory info@dougbeitz.com dougbeitz.com facebook.com/dougbeitz instagram.com/dougbeitz
